Ran into this today -- rebuilt the SVN Trunk for this morning of
LLVM+CLANG. Now every time my builds try and make a library from .o
files, ranlib complains about 'malformed object' files.
This is with OS X 10.7.4, and the binary tools from XCode 4.4.1
ld -v
@(#)PROGRAM:ld PROJECT:ld64-127.2
llvm version 3.0svn, from Apple Clang 3.0 (build 211.12)
ranlib doesn't tell you what version it is
